ABSTRACT Bowing of the vocal folds can result from aging, atrophy or idiopathic causes, such as an injudicious vocal cord surgery. Bowing results in dysphonia due to inadequate approximation of the vocal folds. A number of treatments have been proposed for this condition. Intracordal injection of biological materials including liquid silicon and Teflon and various types of thyroplasty have been utilized. However, full voice recovery has never been fully achieved. We present a case involving a 64-year-old Asian man with dysphonia for 30 years. The patient's vocal fold bowing was examined on laryngoscopy. The disease was effectively treated with pulsed dye laser (PDL) followed by speech therapy. Observation of the patient over 1 year did not show any signs of recurrence. Our analysis revealed voice quality improvement. How to cite this article Koo YC, Chung HJ, Suh MJ, Choi HS. The Efficacy of Treatment for Vocal Fold Bowing with Pulsed Dye Laser.

OBJECTIVES: The 585nm pulsed dye laser (PDL) is a promising tool for in-office laryngeal surgery. Data with respect to the safety and efficacy of the PDL for office laryngeal use is sparse. The purpose of this study is to review our experience with unsedated office PDL surgery. METHODS: Records of individuals undergoing in-office PDL between September 1, 2004, and September 1, 2006 were abstracted from a clinical database. RESULTS: Forty-seven patients underwent 117 treatments. The most common indications were recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), Reinke's edema, and vocal fold polyps. One hundred and four of 117 procedures were felt to be a success ablating all disease. Thirteen treatments requred early termination. The most common factor responsible for termination was an inability to achieve a comfortable level of anesthesia. One patient with Reinke's edema developed postprocedure stridor that required a 3-day hospital admission for observation and corticosteroids. There was no incidence of any vocal fold scarring, web formation, or other complications. CONCLUSIONS: The 585nm PDL is a promising tool for in-office treatment of various laryngeal disorders. Complications are rare.
